This transcription of the
1880 Frio County census was transcribed by
Elerie Ann Shoemake Bowman. An attempt was made to transcribe all
information (spelling) exactly as it appeared on the census. Some names were
very difficult to read and subjected to interpretation. These names have a
question mark beside them (some were probably missed). Some of the names were
obviously misspelled by the census enumerator or the original census
transcriber.

The month of birth for
children who were born within the census years is given in the comment column.

Information from marriage
records and other sources when available are listed via footnotes referenced in
the comment column. In a few cases a little family information has been added
from my personal genealogical files.

The transcription can be
used freely for family research and distribution to libraries with full consent
of the transcriber, however, no permission is granted for its use for sale for
financial gain.

A special thanks to my
husband for assisting in typing, deciphering some of the hand writing, and doing
the full-name index.
